I love Route 66! And I’m proud to say that my license plate says Route 66 Arizona. But I used to live in Chicago and drove down the mother road many times before moving to Arizona, now I drive down 66 through Arizona. And love the scenery.👌🥰👉♥️👍

Yes! Route 66 is still alive and well ...if not in physical presence, in the memories of many Americans it will always be... THE Mother Road. Thanks for posting this clip. Nice Job on the editing and production. 😄

Been awhile since Mike has been a road warrior or hit the road for much more than a Sunday drive in Oklahoma from what I hear. His famous run, forever remembered in his 1990s book, is now almost 30 years ago. His POV book, and Tom Snyder's "searching For Route 66' a few years later both gave us the best overall accounts of the road before the revival hit. And, I always figured, sparked the wanderlust in us all and led to that revival around the world. Snyder passed away back in the 90s. His book remains. Advise all to get it on Amazon. Snyder was from Illinois and a leader in the efforts to remember 66 in that state. I've never met Mike but did meet and knew Snyder a bit. Mike is one of the few Route 66 writers who also writes about the real people and history of the road more than most. His backstory on the road in Kansas and the bloody labor strife there is the best.

66 has always been near me as I was born just a couple of blocks of route 66 . I got to travel some of it in the mid 60s as a kid when it was still so kool and the bright lights and attractions were still there . The union members being murdered is not at all well known here .

I'm not sure people understand that depending on tourism is a deadly thing. I live near US 41 that runs from Chicago to Miami. Numerous interstates replaced it, and many small towns were isolated, however most of those small towns looked for industry to replace the tourist business. I'm afraid that wasn't possible on many sections of Route 66 because the areas are arid or desert. Also the number of people who travel from Chicago to LA are mostly by airplane, bus, or train. Whereas I-75 is the busiest interstate in the USA. Very close is I-95 from New York to Miami. There are many more people living in the Eastern half of the USA than from Chicago to LA.

I'm not sure you understand how Many Foreigners Fly into Chicago an LA, with the soul Purpose of Traveling Route 66. They want to Touch, see an Experience America in the Rt 66 Days. I've driven it 3 times in the past 10 years. I've Seen an Met More Foriegners on this trips than Americans.

Well... looks like in interesting documentary, but it's not available at the link, nor does "The Entertainment Group" have a way to buy it (just says "contact us"), and the only thing on Amazon is a used VHS tape. Guess I'm not buying a copy.
